Why you taking 12v batteries into electricity sub-station?

To charge 'em up!

But of course!

Sticking with supermarkets, when i pay for my shopping with the old plastic and the assistant asks "Do ya want cash back?" i always reply "Yes all of it please".
Now, i thought this was very funny at the time but it seems that it is now grating a little on my wife as shes heard it several (hundreds) times now!

No sense of humour!

Just think how often the checkout operator has heard it!

Likely after 1000 times it stopped being even vaguely funny!

Not funny, never, the customer is always right Bill.

It ranks with my best bit of advice,
"Never eat yellow snow"
which i tend to use whenever i can. Again my poor suffering wife hears this far too often but in a funny (or not) way i think she'd miss it now!

!

Which is likely why the checkout operator smiles sweetly and says "How much and in tens or twenties?" Thinking, but not articulating (stupid b*stard, with a wife like that you would think he lnew better!)

Don't go where them huskies go, Hull Fan!

When we go to a cafe at any time after 10am, I've got into the habit of asking, "Am I too late for the all-day breakfast?" I still think it's funny but Mrs Beej keeps threatening me with something painful if I don't stop it.

Reminds me of one of my favourite Stephen Wright jokes.

He went into a place that advertised that he could have "Breakfast At Any Time", so he asked for French toast during the Rennaissance.

More supermarket madness:

No nightwear is permitted

What about swimwear - there's no mention of mankinis being prohibited!

Presumably OK if you are wearing flippers!

[chandler262827]

Technically ok, but definitely not right!

Why would anyone be mad enough to go shopping their pyjamas or nightie?

Unless you've escaped from a looney bin.

If you are not Kylie Minogue, then it's likely to present a rather gruesome sight to other shoppers.

It was a supermarket in Wales Kinny.

And I can think of several reasons why one might not wish to return to where one had left ones clothes. (notice I made this impersonal and did not say "you")

And several other females other tha Kylie Minogue who I would not mind helping with their trolley should they be clad in their nighties (or for that matter whatever they were clad in!)

More supermarket maddness from me.

I filled by car up at by local supermarket, went in the shop and payed for my fuel. I then remembered I needed some matches. On asking for these I was then asked for ID to prove I was over 16.
The shocked look on my face and the reply of 'I just filled up my car' went over the shop assistants head and I had to show him my driving licence. He then said I was 'just' old enough - I'm 26!! (and no there wasn't even a hint of sarcasm!)
